Steven M. Warner

Steven M. Warner, born November 16, 1968, in Waterbury, Connecticut, passed away, leaving behind a life full of love, laughter, hard work, and a trail of things that may or may not have been broken along the way.

Steven spent much of his life on his parents’ farm in Thomaston, a place that suited him perfectly. He loved his farm animals, the open space, and the freedom it gave him—whether that meant riding his motorcycle, working nonstop on one project after another, or simply hanging out with the guys. A true workaholic and playaholic, Steven believed in giving everything his full energy, whether it was work, fun, or family.

He was a funny guy with a big personality and an even bigger love for his girls, goats, and anything Halloween. He enjoyed creativity in all forms and had a lifelong knack for making, fixing, and—quite often—breaking just about anything he touched. As a kid, Steven was active in 4-H and later participated in raft races along the Connecticut River, showing early on his love for hands-on work, adventure, and a little bit of chaos.

Steven was also a loyal friend to many, forming deep, lifelong friendships that meant the world to him. Whether working, riding, or just spending time together, those friendships were built on laughter, trust, and years of shared memories.

Above all else, Steven’s greatest love was his family. He adored his daughters, Sadie and Lena Warner, with a fierce, unmistakable love. Being their dad was his proudest role, and the bond he shared with them was deep, protective, and unconditional. That love will always be a part of them along with his wife, Lisa S. Briotti who took care of him through sickness and health.

Steven was preceded in death by his parents, Dorothy and Lewis Warner Jr., and his brothers, William Warner and Lewis Warner III. He is survived by his brothers, Brian Warner and Richard Warner, his nephew Lewis Warner IV, his beloved daughters, Sadie and Lena Warner, and his wife, Lisa S. Briotti.

Steven will be remembered for his humor, his creativity, his relentless energy, and the enormous love he had for the people who mattered most to him. He lived loudly, loved deeply, and leaves behind a legacy that will be felt every day by those who knew and loved him.
